No shipping confirmation for me either. But no change in delivery date. Still Sept 5th estimated delivery.

Ditto or is it tritto? Anyway this is the second pre-order from the big winter/spring dump that didn't release when first announced.

Hasbro Pulse just charged me for my Reflector 3-Pack preorder

You know, I love TF video reviews. I even watch them for bots I already own you never know maybe you missed a step or two.

But I’ve seen a couple for Jetfire that I’m not tons happy with. This is going to sound more snobby than it’s intended but sometimes there is value in reading the instructions.

Despite some flaws mine has the jet mode holds together when pegged together properly the exhausts don’t hang there.

And the backpack holds two additional Titan/Prime masters which I don’t see getting pointed out.

Just thought I’d point out those bits and reiterate it’s a great well designed toy it’s a melding of MP and Generations mentalities that has to be the current cherry of the Siege line.

I don't know how intentional that extra storage in the backpack is, it's really hard to get my fingers in there. Also I've heard that in some countries it's not the style to read instructions first.

[Stargrave]

Totally hear you and I could be wrong. I try to transform mine without the instructions every time but for a reviewer to proudly tout they don’t even read the instructions and mention one or more times they don’t get a certain part of the toy, I don’t know I figure hey, cover all angles before putting something out there do some research it never hurts only helps. Ah that’s just my modo it was just something I noticed.

I transformed mine without instructions first. Even then I figured out how to properly plug in the legs and thrusters.

Then I saw a video that pointed me the hidden Titan Masters features and the waist swivel of the bot.

I definitely think that extra storage has got to be intentional, as not only is there a windscreen for Titan/Prime Masters to look through in the backpack, but there are also two bespoke spots to put them in, including with grooves for the back-of-legs tab to plug in to keep them seated. I agree that it's definitely nowhere near as accessible as it should be, though.

The backpack holding Titan Masters isn't actually in the instructions. I don't think even the nose cockpit is.

They’re not, that particular part I wasn’t referring to. Just how to tab stuff in properly typically is.

[o.supreme]

How do you know it’ll be on sale then?

You dont. But at least you are hedging your bets that you own him and have 90 days to wait on a sale. The original user was talking about waiting to buy him on Back Friday, and I was just responding that buying him now wouldn't make a difference due to the the 90 day return window.

If, like me, you are intent on purchasing him at Walmart, another way is to get it and put it on layaway. I doubt Walmart itself will have a Black Friday sale on Siege Jetfire, since probably only a few stores will have it, and they seem to sell really fast. I'm sure both Amazon & Pulse (and maybe some other online retailers) will have it on sale, but just finding Jetfire at a B&M store was a small miracle for US residents, I'm sure they'll all sell quickly, but online they seem to be plentiful. I was fortunate to have the funds at the time i found him, otherwise it definitely would have been layaway for me. (which walmart happens to only offer this time of year)

Just Noticed...is the fact that Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Refraktor Reconnaissance Team 3-Pack

is in stock right now on PULSE newsworthy? Or am I just late to the party ?

wow...Throwing some shade at some of our neighbors to the North for releasing it early

[Sentinel_Primal]

In relation to the people not reading instructions, part of it I feel is some level of cockiness after the Prime Wars trilogy being a lot easier conversions. Some reviewers (not all) just wing it without bothering to look to see if they're missing anything, like some reviewers not seeing Prime's trailer hitch in truck mode because they didn't notice the panels to unfold. A lot of the transformations are more involved now and some reviewers that are just trying to get the review out first don't really take the time to understand the figure before posting. Though with the one guy getting the figures straight from the factory definitely removes some incentive to be the first to review because they've already been beaten to the punch before the figure's announcement

Dude totally and again, I get it I really do I just wouldn’t put something out where I’m trying to struggle and figure it out. As a genuine fan or reviews, just yakking like a fanboy

Now back to your regular Siege programming.

Refraktor camera mode is my new Cybertronian battlefield ordinance. Scales perfectly with the other bots and it’s easy to imagine a camera is just being a big canon.

In this case I believe it is because the packaging lacks french, and Quebec requires it.

SO WHAT'S THE POINT FROM ORDERING ANYTHING FROM PULSE?
Seriously, even if I could, the super high shipping costs, taxes anyway, and the exchange rate give us a pretty bloody raw deal.

Let's hope for my fellow québécois who ordered from 3&UP will have their set.


Seriously, for fox's sake...

How do you get a greater than 90 degree bend out of an elbow shaped like that? Magic.
